Looking for scores of Scottish Composers

[lontano]

I'm looking for access to scores by:

Erik Chisholm (anything)

Ronald Stevenson: Passacaglia  on DSCH (Dimitri Shostakovich)

Also looking for score for:

Leopold Godowsky:  Passacaglia (44 variations on Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony)

[retrouvailles]

Here is the Godowsky.

I also have the Stevenson, but I can't post here due to the fact that he's still alive. I'm sure we could work something out though, so that you can get it. Or you can contact me personally.

I know you didn't ask for it, but Edward MacDowell was Scottish-Irish, easy to find sheet music for him as well.

But he was American by nationality. He was only Scottish-Irish by extraction, which doesn't really count.

A huge amount of Chisholm can be ordered via the Scottish Music Centre, but in my experience you will need a credit card with a £6,000,000 credit limit. I think that they make up the scores to order which i guess explains the expense. The buggers charged me £50 just for the 2nd concerto.

Stevenson has his own society where you can order scores, but i have no experience with them as his music does not really interest me, albeit i recently came across a copy of his concerto which i understand some people highly rate.

I find that hard to believe. He is a direct descendant of the pianist/composers and is highly influenced by Busoni, among others. I thought he would be right up your alley. His music really is excellent.

Horrific though it may seem old chap, Busoni does not exaclty ring my bell either.

His Piano Concerto, Fantasia Contrappuntistica and Chaconne are his best known works - however, I personally have not really gotten much into his music as of yet, preferring to delve into russian music; perhaps you may like him though.

[thalbergmad]

I have listened to a few of his works, including the ones you mention and i have yet to be impressed.

As i get older, i appear to be turning into a miniturist.

I really don't see why you wouldn't like any of those works. Oh well, I'm sure you'll come around someday. It takes a while for some people to click with Busoni.

You seriously mean that you don't already have such a thing?!...

We also prepare copy scores to order. The SMIC supply a copy of Chisholm's Hindustani concerto (of which you write) as a 2-piano reduction only and this occupies 93 pages for which they advertise a charge of £49.50 (I'm not sure if that includes shipping); for the record and as a comparative example, we issue a 144-page published full orchestral score of Sorabji's Fifth Piano Concerto on A3 paper, double sided and ringbound between hard card covers, for a mere £35 including shipping to anywhere within UK...

Damned good value.

How much for all of the piano concerti?. I have got one of them but i cannot remember if it is the 2nd or 3rd and it is in my loft under a ton of other papers.

Do i get a reduction??

No postage, i will come and get them.

The Stevenson Society (https://www.ronaldstevensonsociety.org.uk/) is very good at supplying scores and perfectly acceptable value. The Passacaglia costs £29 (just checked that) and is available as either a reproduction of the manuscript or a typeset score.

[thalbergmad]

It would be nice if all composers had sites like this.

I think i will start one for Dreyschock.

Please check our website at www.sorabji-archive.co.uk where all the relevant information can be found including the various formats in which the items that we supply are available; all prices do, however, include shipping within UK so, were you to want personally to collect all the items that you want from us, we will, of course, quote you a price for that. It would be good to see you!

Best,
